Redistricting & Democracy: What’s Happening to Voting Rights?!
from The Don Lemon Show · host Lemon Media Network
Tonight, we break down the escalating redistricting battles happening across the country and the growing concerns about MAGA efforts to reducing Black political representation. In Virginia, the only redistricting map that was actually approved directly by voters has now been overturned by the state Supreme Court. So what does this mean for voting rights, representation, and the future of democracy heading into the midterms? More importantly, what can people actually do about it? Then we pivot to growing concerns around hantavirus after reports that two people in New Jersey may have been exposed. What is hantavirus, how serious is it, and how worried should the public actually be? Don is joined by political analyst and author Tiffany Cross to break it all down.
